Infield

This is what registers as a tough week defensively for the Orioles since Buck Showalter reconstructed the infield by installing Manny Machado (pictured) at third base and Mark Reynolds full-time at first. Infielders committed two errors, only one of which had any significant impact on a game. They certainly made up for that at the plate, with a week-long power play that featured seven home runs and 18 RBIs. Three of those homers came off the bat of Machado, who also made some flashy defensive plays as he continues to impress in his late-season major league debut. Grade: A-
